I hope you paid your student for their labour.
She is a paid apprentice to the school. When someone loses their contract or cant find a place to work, we offer help.
This is to keep them busy and challenged (the curves are programmed by hand). And its also to make nice, shiny stuff for me.
I'd be very surprised if that was explicit and in writing. Having been exploited by teachers at university, I'm sensitive to this kind of thing. Your students are not there to make stuff for your benefit. It seems to me like you're exploiting them.
Sure you have the right to believe what you want. Maybe youre used to a shithole country like america, where people are more exploited.
The schools apprentice makes whatever we tell them. They are in unions and have the same rights as everyone else. And the same rules goes for our workshop as everywhere else in this country.
P.S. the gifts I get from my students also tell me how miserable they are.
No, I'm in the UK, as was the exploiting university.
The issue is not what they make or who tells them to make it. The issue is what happens to the things they make after they're made and who benefits.
Gifts? You mean the things you tell them to make or are you talking about other things they give to you?
